Item Description:

"TRIO DE FRANCE"

Faure- Trio en Re mineur op. 120 pour Piano, Violon et Violoncelle ; Ravel- Trio en La mineur pour Piano, Violon et Violoncelle.

G. Joy- Piano, J. Gautier- Violon, Andre Levy- Violoncelle.

Pretoria, 30 CL 8001, 1950's French Mono pressing. Thin-board matt cover includes its original "rice-paper" inner-sleeve. This is one of the rarest Andre-Levy records, perhaps the "holy grail" of French collectors' LP's. It is offered here in quite outstanding vinyl condition and quite presentable cover condition (see "item condition" and photos).

No reserve!! Good-luck to all bidders.   

Item condition:

Vinyl- side 1 VG, this grading is due to a lonely small feelable mark near the beginning of the second track causing a few consistant light clics for about a minute; side 2 VG++; both sides are very clean and still retain much of their original vinyl luster; over-all great vinyl condition. I play-tested this LP and appart from the clics I mentioned there is very little background noise. Very pleasureful and quiet listening experience.

Labels- NM.

Grading is based on a careful visual inspection of the record's surface, labels and cover (unless 'play-test' is noted). Grading scale is as follows:

SS- Still Sealed

NM- (Near Mint)- The vinyl surface will be near perfect. Only few light negligible signs of use might be spotted under direct bright light. The Cover should also be close to perfect with the option of only the smallest flaws that are not noticed unless really looked for. I might use (+) and (-) to be more specific within the range of NM grade.

VG++ (Very Good plus plus)- surface of the vinyl will show only mild signs of use. Few light hairlines, marks, dots, paper-scuffs may be appear-able under light but in any way not affecting the quality of the sound. The cover over-all appearance will be excellent. On closer inspection the occasional touch of ring-wear, seam-wear, light crease, small stain might be found, but again, nothing that really “stands-out to the eye”.

VG+ (Very Good plus)- surface of the vinyl will show more noticeable signs of use such as a light scratch, ding, scuff, hairlines etc. Anyway, those defects will be mostly cosmetic and the deterioration of sound quality would still be subtle if at all felt. The occasional pop and crackle might be heard on the quieter parts and between tracks but could just as well be related to the record needing a good clean. Cover will show more noticeable flaws such as creasing, seam-wear, ring-wear, stickers, aging-signs etc. But all these would still be rather light and the over-all appearance of the cover should be very good.

VG (Very Good)- This is the grading for a record that's lost a more substantial part of its sound quality. More extensive evidence of careless handling of the record will be present visually and affect sound quality in the form of occasional pops, crackle, ticks, jumps etc. The cover will appear somewhat worn-out even to the naked eye. Stains, over-all wear and creasing might be present and even a small tear...

VG- (Very Good minus)- This is used for really bad looking records. I will not list items in this condition unless they are very very rare and valuable or I find them to have some other cultural value apart from their usual use.
